How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In December, daylight in Warbleton ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

FAQs for Warbleton
Is Warbleton too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Warbleton from London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Can you cater for vegans on set?
Add alternatives to suit your crew.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you go to remote locations?
Share the route to base and we’ll plan the journey.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Sign-off from the location
- Access agreed with locations
- A level area at base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, hot food makes a difference on a long day. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
